ke-sa 10 Posted July 10, 2014 How did everyone's surgery go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel❤️ 45 Posted July 10, 2014 Mine went well. Feeling better every few hours. Am able to get liquids down ounce by ounce. Stomach is super sore though. Not too much trouble with gas...I came prepared with gas ex strips and they were a life saver. Hope to go home tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpearson1130 1 Posted July 10, 2014 <p>I am a July 8th surgery date. And I am very nervous about it. I'm older [68] and I wonder if I am going to be able to break all these old habits of mine. I want to succeed and finally get my self healthy. I only have to do 1 day of Clear Liquids on Monday, so I know I can handle that. But I am ready to get moving and get on with my new life. I would love to be a buddy to anyone who wants to follow my story. Hopefully I can give some valuable info. on my daily experiences. Either way, good luck to you all and I will be watching for your up date.</p> well I'm glad to know that I'm not the only late bloomer in the bunch. I'm 54 and my surgery date is July 30th. I would live yo hear all about your experience and your day to day challenges. Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpearson1130 1 Posted July 10, 2014 <p>Wow for the 7/7-ers we have less than 24 hours. I report to the hospital at 8am and go in for surgery at 10am. By this time tomorrow it will be over. I have a ton of stuff to do. </p> <p> </p> <p>Pack, not sure what to bring but I am packing: cell, charger, cpap, go home clothes, no Water tooth cleaners, mouthwash, shower gel and deodorant. Did I miss anything?</p> <p> </p> <p>Get my family ready: cook, braid my daughters hair, get her prepped for school tomorrow, braid my hair, clean my house and fix my garden. Should I leave something out?</p> <p> </p> <p>What's everyone's prep plans. </p> how did your surgery go? Feeling up to chatting let me know. Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
